I don't know what you're missing, but I can tell you that Fedora has come a long, long way from the Red Hat days (I have been on board since Red Hat 5.0). I use Fedora exclusively and barely ever resort to Windows at all (except once in a while for downloading mp3s from a p2p site, because I don't want to risk contaminating my Linux system). I used to have to configure nearly every bit of hardware manually, adding tweaks and customizations to the .confs of nearly every device I own (the Sound Blaster was a big problem). Now, I install Fedora and nearly everything is auto-detected and correctly configured from the first boot. There are a number of minor things I do, like change to British English, in order to get the spell checks to work correctly, add my collection of True Type fonts, make links and install the bookmark files, etc, but this is all just user comfort stuff and not system configuration per se. Linux (Fedora with KDE) has surpassed Windows or any other operating system for ease of use, convenience, availability of settings for personalization in every aspect of the user interface, etc etc. It is so good that sometimes it's all I can do to keep myself from looking at the screen and revelling in the way I have made it my own. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
